Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 389: Correction

"Oh, so that's it!" Cheng Hong said cheerfully, "I don't have any movies to shoot, can I go to Shanghai to visit the set?"

"Watch Director Huang's Golden Bear-winning film!"

"How do you know that my work is going to compete for the Golden Bear? I didn't tell you, right?" Huang Ze raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Guessed." Cheng Hong chuckled.

"Right after we finished filming Farewell My Concubine, you asked people to start preparing for Life is Beautiful. Less than half a month after the Palme d'Or, you went to Shanghai to prepare for filming. Don't you think it's too urgent?"

"It's like someone is chasing me from behind, afraid that I'll run even a little slower."

"From the name, it seems that Life is Beautiful is another art film, made for the purpose of winning awards."

"And now all you need is a Golden Bear to get all three."

"The answer is obvious, isn't it?"

"Smart!" Huang Ze snapped his fingers, "But there is no reward!"

"Oh, let's give you a reward." Cheng Hong started to act coquettishly on the phone, "Are you short of actors? I can play the leading female role in it, and then I can be with you openly tomorrow, right?"

"Even if your wife comes, you can't say anything."

"What? You still want to get promoted?" Huang Ze was worried that Cheng Hong would do something rash, so regardless of whether she had this idea or not, he immediately spoke in a joking manner to dispel any signs of the other party making such a move.

Unless Gong Xing takes the initiative to divorce, no one else can take over.

Besides, I already have a child, so why should I rush to get married? Will it cause trouble for myself?
Wouldn't that prevent him from personally heading into the entertainment industry?
Taking a step back, even if someone gets promoted, it will not be the other person's turn according to the order!

After saying this, Huang Ze didn't pause for long, and immediately changed the subject, avoiding this unnecessary topic, "The leading actress's acting skills are not good enough, do you think you are better than Zhang Manyu?"

"I'm not as good at acting as her, but I can play a supporting role!"

"Not even a supporting role."

Zhang Manyu is not very pretty, so asking Cheng Hong to play a supporting role would just overshadow the main character, wouldn't that?
"You are so beautiful. I need the heroine to look prettier in the movie."

"Haha, hearing you say that, I feel much better all of a sudden." Women like to be told that they are beautiful. Cheng Hong immediately covered her mouth and laughed twice. "I will be leaving from Jiangxi Province in two days. I'll hang up first!"

……

in the afternoon.

The sun was a little lower and not so hot anymore, so Huang Ze came out of his villa and came to the current residence of the "Life is Beautiful" crew.

"Brother Huang! Congratulations first!" Wang Zhiwen smiled and shook Huang Ze's hand, "Awesome! A Palme d'Or and a Best Actor award, you won them easily as soon as you showed up."

"So do you think our plan to use this film to enter the Berlin Film Festival will be easy?" Huang Ze asked back.

"Hahaha."

Wang Zhiwen suddenly laughed.

There was a little bit of embarrassment in the laughter.

If he had been asked this question before, he would have confidently said that there must be.

But if you ask him now, he is really worried.

Huang Ze just won the Palme d’Or in May. Can he win the Golden Bear in February next year?
That's equivalent to winning two of the three major titles in one year!

More importantly, that Golden Bear will be Huang Ze's fourth of the three majors and can also help him achieve the Grand Slam, which simply increases the difficulty by who knows how many times.

As for winning the Best Actor award himself.

Wang Zhiwen felt that he could give it a try. After all, this award was different from the highest prize. Two Chinese movie emperors were nothing special. Not to mention that strictly speaking, Hong Kong Island did not belong to China for the time being. It would only be three years later.

But Zhang Guorong's winning of the Best Actor award did make it a bit more difficult for himself.

But it's not enough to just smile without saying anything. Taking a deep breath, Wang Zhiwen said, "It will be easy to catch him."

"You're not confident enough!" Huang Ze patted Wang Zhiwen, "Your acting skills haven't even covered up the past." "Brother Wang, you're a little unsure whether you can win the Best Actor award." Zhang Manyu smiled and added, "I've read the script. The script of this film is shocking."

"Especially the ending at the end."

“Definitely qualified to compete for any award.”

"That's a bit too much!" Zhang Manyu didn't speak Cantonese, but Shanghainese. Huang Ze also switched to the dialect and shook hands with him.

"Between you and me, there's no need to flatter."

"I also want to win another Best Actress award!"

"It's not easy."

"It's just not small?" Zhang Manyu's eyes lit up, "Does that mean there's still a chance?"

"Yes, with your strength, there must be."

"By the way, how are you two getting along with the young actors?" Huang Ze changed the subject.

"That boy is outgoing, comes from a good family, and has been raised to be cheerful since childhood. It's no problem to get along with him! Moreover, I think that boy has some potential to be an actor."

"Then I'm completely relieved." The three major difficulties in filming are animals, children, and water. This is the blood and tears history of many directors.

Even though he had been interviewed, Huang Ze was still a little worried.

I was especially worried that Zheng Kai had no feelings for the parents in the play, and that the acting wouldn't be effective.

Now that these two people have recognized it, I can feel a little more at ease.

Over the next two days, Huang Ze got into the mood and took a few assistant directors to go over the locations they had scouted, the costumes and props they had prepared.

Although they are the official team, they still have to go through these things themselves. If they find any problems, they can correct them in advance without delaying the filming. If they find any problems during the filming, it will be a big deal.

Two days flew by.

That day, Huang Ze was resting at home when his bodyguard called him, "Boss, there's someone at the door."

"Ok?"

Huang Ze’s first reaction was that Cheng Hong was coming over.

The second reaction was Hong Shixian's face, "You are really brave!"

"How dare you come to my house!"

"Do you still want to wear Pinru's, no, Gong Xing's pajamas?"

"Who is it?" There was a hint of anger in Huang Ze's voice. He hated this kind of uncontrollable factor.

"He said his name is Jiang Wen, and his new film is out, and he wants you to take a look at it."

"Oh, him!" Huang Ze secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Let him in."

Huang Ze put down his phone, walked downstairs immediately and came to the door to greet him.

Jiang Wen and Huang Ze's bodyguards came in carrying boxes, which should contain films.

"Brother Huang!"

"Fortunately, I have accomplished my mission! I did not exceed the target. Not only did I finish the filming, but I also finished the post-production." Jiang Wen saluted in a pretentious manner and turned to look at Huang Ze's yard. "Director Huang, you have a good eye! It's a great house, and this place is in a great location!"

“Is it a good location?”

"The owner of this house has all run away."

"Hey, that's not the case." Jiang Wen waved his hand. "Then aren't the original owners of the palaces in the capital no longer in their houses?"

"Let's not talk about this anymore. I'm still waiting for you to correct my film."
